滁州西涧
韦应物[1]
独怜[2]幽草涧边生，
上有黄鹂深树[3]鸣。
春潮带雨晚来急，
野渡[4]无人舟自横[5]。
注释：
[1] 韦应物：中唐诗人，人称韦苏州。这首诗是写西涧之景及幽独之情。但《千家诗》编者认为是讽刺诗，注中说：“此亦托讽之诗。草生涧边，喻君子生不遇时；鹂鸣深树，讥小人谗佞而在位。春水本急，遇雨而涨，又当晚潮之时，其急更甚，喻时之将乱也。野渡有舟，而无人运济，喻君子隐居山林，无人举而用之也。”诗无达诂，可以见仁见智，但都可以看出，唐朝知识分子不得其用，是常有的事。诗的解释越多，内容也越丰富。
[2] 怜：爱怜。
[3] 深树：树林深处。
[4] 野渡：野外的渡口。
[5] 横：横浮，形容无人照管。
On the West Stream of Chuzhou
Wei Yingwu
Alone I like the riverside where green grass grows
And golden orioles sing amid leafy trees.
When showers fall at dusk, the river overflows:
A lonely boat athwart the ferry floats at case.
《滁州西涧》是唐代诗人韦应物的一首写景七绝。作者任滁州刺史时，游览至滁州西涧，写下了这首诗情浓郁的小诗。此诗写的虽然是平常的景物，但经诗人的点染，却成了一幅意境幽深的有韵之画，还蕴含了诗人一种不在其位、不得其用的无奈与忧伤情怀，也就是作者对自己怀才不遇的不平。
“On the West Stream of Chuzhou” is a poem by Wei Yingyu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. The author wrote this poetic poem when he was the governor of Chuzhou and visited the west stream of Chuzhou.
